Now don't get me wrong This is a great place to go if you want a burger watch the game maybe have a few drinks. The place is decorated nice and the booths were very comfortable. However, keep in mind when I went here I was extremely hungry and usually any food will do when I'm at that point of hunger! I don't mean to sound rude when I say this but if you're working in the food industry you should not have 20 lb of perfume on, everyone has different tastes in perfume, Not everyone wants to smell pungent grandma scent and the last thing someone wants to smell is perfume when they want to smell their food! The waitress that was working on January 7th around 3:00 p.m. had god awful perfume on that was so strong that was all I could smell and taste and the smell would not go away for minutes after she walked away! Aside from that I agree with one of the reviews that I read, that says everything tasted weird! Despite some of the reviews I tried it anyway. You cannot throw minced garlic at pasta and call it scampi! It literally tasted like I was eating plain pasta. I think maybe a little feta and it would substantially improve that dish! Anything would improve that dish! I found it comical that I asked if the restaurant served sweet tea and I was told that they had raspberry, I was brought back a brisk. Definitely not what I was expecting. I don't know why they rave about their wine gravy, I had to send back the poutine I ordered because it was so salty I couldn't even eat it! I don't know if the wine gravy is made with a cooking wine but it had way too much salt! And I'm the type of person that puts salt on my salt. So that saying something!
On a positive note the mashed potatoes were nice, the fish was fresh and delicious. The sesame ginger chicken appetizer was good. The art Deco posters on the walls were really cool and I liked the antique vibe the place gave. Atmosphere was chill relaxed and comfortable. There were TVs throughout so that you could watch the game. I will probably be back for a burger maybe a steak. And I pray to God that I don't get the same...
Read moreGordi, Gordi, Gordi! What happened?! We come to you each time we visit Lincoln, NH. It is almost as it is part of our vacation plan: One night we dine at Gordi's. Yesterday we visited you, with that delightful expectation of a great dinner awaiting us. We were seated at an uncomfortable booth. I could not move my seat to get closer to the table, and perhaps it was always like that, but now that I am getting older I need a good seat. Still the foretelling of a delicious dinner was enticing. The waitress brought warm bread (thumbs up), and ... something. It looked like whipped butter, but it was whipped grease! It tasted awful. So I asked the waitress to bring butter. She made like she forgot, and when after a good while we asked again, she said there was none in the restaurant. This is a fish restaurant! This is a place where you order lobster and garlic 'butter'. What do you put in the garlic 'butter' if not butter? You do not have butter? wow!!! What restaurant of quality can say they do not have an ounce of butter? I was pissed, because that bread looked delicious, but without butter....We ordered clam chowder, fish and chips for me and stuffed haddock for my hubby. The clam chowder was super greasy and the chunks of potatoes needed fork and knife and they were not peeled! My fish and chips were ok, but the coleslaw they came with, was.... cabbage, just chopped cabbage. I saw in between some specks o something orange. My husband's stuffed haddock was again, more grease than fish. It had a glossy cover that was oily, and the stuffing was bread crumbs with some fishy taste; it certainly was not crab as one would suspect. OK, Gordi, Sayonara, never again, bye bye. Sorry to let you go, but I cannot afford 70 bucks for a less than...
Read moreVisited this place yesterday night as a party of 7 Adults. The food was ok. But what really caught our attention was the service. Horrible would have been a great word. The waiteress seemed like somebody had forced her to serve us. She never bothered introducing herself, she dumped the food, had no clue how to cut the check into half or more, I could go on.
My friend ordered a $32 Prime cut and asked for it to cooked medium. They wrecked it up and made it rare. When he said this was not what he asked for, they took it back and made it super well done and the waiteress had the audacity to explain to my friend going forward, how he should order his steak. None of her business, especially if the chef again had no clue between rare, medium and well done. Another Friend got a Ribeye and asked for it to be Medium and it came back well done. You've got to remember all these Entrees are above the $30+ mark.
When the check came ( close to $400) , we put in 4 cards and asked her cut it 4 ways. She was so rude that she dumped the 4 cards on the table and said, 'What is this, I can't do this, I need to go back and make 4 Checks and come back). She grabbed the check out of another friends hand, threw the cards on the table and came back eons latter.
Asked her for water with a lemon wedge, and she had the death stare, for us asking beyond a water.
What a horrible experience! For. $60 Forced Gratuity, it sure was sick service. Especially for a tourist who comes by for a good experience.
If you want to get good food, and great service head over a few mins across the street to the Commonman, they are so much more better than this...
